FlyerOS vs FlightLogger
FlightLogger is an established, training-records-first platform used across many countries. FlyerOS is a connected system that models your authority’s rulebook and enforces it before the flight. Both run flight training well; they are built around different priorities, and which fits depends on yours.
What each one is good at
FlightLogger
- One of the most established names in flight-training software, with a large user base across many countries.
- Training records and competency-based assessment are its core strength and are well regarded.
- Broad authority coverage today, so it suits schools operating across several countries.
FlyerOS
- One connected record: a defect grounds the aircraft and the schedule feels it, and closing a flight moves the training record, the counters and the cost share together.
- The rules engine models an authority’s actual rulebook and enforces it at the point of booking, for the time of the flight (UK CAA and EASA today, with the rules engine built to add more).
- Maintenance and billing carry real depth alongside training records, so the whole operating day sits in one system.

Which is the right fit for you
Choose FlightLogger if
Choose FlightLogger if you want the most established platform with a large install base, training records and competency-based assessment are your first priority, or you operate under an authority FlyerOS does not cover yet, such as the FAA or CASA. On coverage across many countries today, it is ahead.
Choose FlyerOS if
Choose FlyerOS if you operate under UK CAA or EASA and want the rulebook enforced when a booking is made rather than checked after, one connected record across scheduling, training, maintenance and billing, and a system that will add your authority as it expands.
Common questions
- Is FlyerOS a good alternative to FlightLogger?
- It depends on what you need. If training records across many countries are your priority, FlightLogger is a strong, established choice. If you want one connected record and your authority’s rulebook enforced at booking, and you operate under UK CAA or EASA, FlyerOS is worth a direct look.
- Does FlyerOS cover the same authorities as FlightLogger?
- Not yet. FlyerOS covers UK CAA and EASA today and is adding more, while FlightLogger covers a wider set including the FAA and CASA. If you need an authority FlyerOS does not support yet, that is a reason to stay with a broader platform for now.
- Can we move our records across?
- Yes. You can import your fleet, people, programmes and records yourself at no cost, or we run the migration with you, and everything stays exportable at any time. See the migration page.
